Designed from the beginning to exceed all expectations, the Epson Stylus
Pro 3800 / 3880 incorporates an all-new, 17-inch wide printer design, along with
a radical new photographic screening technology. And, when it is combined
with our breakthrough Epson UltraChrome K3™ Ink, it will deliver your
creative vision without compromise.

Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink technology has produced some of the world’s
greatest images. Inspired by our past generations of pigmented ink, Epson
UltraChrome K3 incorporates a three-level Black, along with new color
pigments, to dramatically raise the bar for professional color and blackand-
white prints. The standard has been set.

Even more remarkable, our latest high performance, one-inch wide print
head now incorporates a new Auto-sharing Black Ink technology, allowing
both Photo and Matte Black ink to be installed simultaneously.
Capable of handling virtually any type of cut-sheet media up to 17 inches
wide, the Epson Stylus Pro 3800 / 3880 incorporates a high-capacity paper feeder
that can accommodate sizes from 4x6 up to 17x22. Continuing to set
standards in media flexibility, we’ve developed various ways of loading
media, including a front-loading, straight-through path capable of handling
media up to 1.5 mm thick and even a second, top-loading, single-sheet
feeder optimized for fine art papers.

The Epson Stylus Pro 3800 / 3880 represents a level of imaging technology
unprecedented in Epson’s history. The extreme precision of an Epson Stylus
Pro print engine, along with the extraordinary performance of Epson Ultra-
Chrome K3 Ink, results in your image being masterfully printed, without
any signs of how it was produced. Prepare to be inspired all over again.

Welcome to the future of print head technology

8-channel print head with Auto-sharing Black Ink technology

» Innovative, new print head design allows for all nine inks to be
installed simultaneously

» Without any user intervention, the printer automatically switches between
Photo and Matte Black ink while utilizing the same physical ink channel

» Produces extremely fine, photographic prints, even in bi-directional
and lower resolution print modes
» Compensates for various ink densities between resolutions — allowing
for a single ICC profile to be used per media type

» Built-in sensor analyzes a printed nozzle check pattern and
automatically cleans the print head if any problems are
found — even partially clogged nozzles

Epson PreciseColor technology

In order to ensure consistent printing between multiple Epson Stylus Pro
printers of the same model, Epson has enhanced the production process
to include colorimetric calibration. This system evaluates and adjusts
each printer at the manufacturing stage, assuring you’ll get consistent
color output from printer to printer.
